Amazing Night with Ruth Larkin, the Beantown Medium

Last Friday, my friend Ruthie Larkin, the Beantown Medium made a special appearance in Maryland at the
Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) meeting to do a show of mediumship and messages from spirit. The meeting generated a lot of interest from the public and more than 150 people registered for it.   
   Margaret Ehrlich, founder of IGT opened the meeting and I gave an overview of how mediumship works. Ruthie gave messages to many people in the audience for over 2 hours. It was a pretty amazing night and the readings were spot on. We hope that Ruthie will come back for another show.
  If you would like to book a phone reading with her or an in-person reading in Massachusetts, visit her website: www.beantownmedium.com.

  Here are some photos and comments from the event.

Jeffrey  - I was listening to each reading Ruthie had done and she was hitting home runs, the energy I was feeling in that place was very strong tonight. I kept thinking cell phone was going off but I had turned it off, just that energy. When she hit on the energy I was feeling and my mother right off the bat Ms. Ruthie Larkin is the best I've seen.

Angie       Really enjoyed the evening

               

Renee      - Really enjoyed this event...and winning my book !! I hope Ruthie comes back some time soon

Margaret - This was a good meeting and hope to have more like this. There were lots of people there too which is always great.

Patricia  - Enjoyed the evening and meeting Ruthie. Hope she comes back again!

A Way to Pay Tribute to pets in spirit

Sprite and Buzz's ashes and favorite toys

I receive a lot of emails every week asking for messages from pets who  pass, and thought I'd take a moment to share how we recognize that our pets are still with us. In one of the rooms that we're usually in, we keep the ashes of Buzz and Sprite with their photos and favorite toys. 

backyard markers for Buzz and Sprite

  In the backyard, we ordered plaques that we had engraved with their names and dates and a paw print. They are pictured here with newly planted flowers. *******************************************

The loss of a pet is like to loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies and author Rob Gutro proves that in messages from pets in spirit in his new book "Pets and the Afterlife 2" and "Pets and the Afterlife." Both are available on Amazon.com

Signs from Spirits of Buzz and Sprite through a Reader!

Buzz

On July 22, I was emailing with a woman named Lisa about her dog whom passed. She read my book "Pets and
the Afterlife" and told me she saw dogs that looked like my dogs in spirit: Buzz, a Weimaraner and Sprite, a red, smooth, Dachshund!  That's not a coincidence. They were signs from them to let me know they're around us - and here's why:
July 8th was the day that Sprite passed (Anniversary) in 2013
July 29th, 2004 was Buzz's birthday! 

Spirits always come around on Birthdays, anniversaries or holidays, and they can give messages to you, or to someone they know will be talking with you - as they did with Lisa!

From the Email- Lisa wrote:
I keep seeing dachshunds that look like Sprite and a large Weim who looked just like Buzz would've as an adult...this one had two different colored eyes though.  Maybe they're thinking of you too!

Sprite

My response; Thank YOU for telling me about Buzz and Sprite look-alikes. This is the month that Sprite passed and Buzz was born, and it makes perfect sense that they would send dopplegangers/look-alikes to someone who was writing to me. What great signs

NOTE- Today would have been Buzz's 12th Birthday

Part 3: Belmont Manor Ghostly Happenings: The Portal

A portal (doorway)

This is part 3 of the recent investigation of the Belmont Manor that focuses on the room with a ghostly portal or doorway. 

The Inspired Ghost Tracking group of Glen Burnie, Maryland leads public ghost investigations at the historic Belmont Manor (in Elkridge, MD) several times throughout the year through the Howard County Parks Department. The tours are $20 and the funds all go to support the mansion. The registration is through the parks department.

On the most recent investigation, Friday, July 16, there were several experiences where we talked with intelligent haunts (ghosts who answer questions).
  

The ball lit up with an affirmation

LIGHTING UP TO ANSWER - One of the things we use to get "Yes" or "No" answers is a ball that lights up when moved or affected by electrical activity. It's actually a cat toy, but it's easy enough for ghosts to affect it (since they're energy).

THE PORTAL - A portal is a doorway of energy that goes from one place to another.The portal is like a sideways hurricane of swirling energy. It rotates in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Sometimes in places that have ghosts portals exist. Such is the case in one room in the Belmont.

Cemetery Side of the Portal

DETECTING THE PORTAL - When you walk through the area where the portal is, some people report their legs shaking or feeling a tingling. Others get dizzy while some feel nothing. To detect the location, Amy from IGT placed 2 light-up balls on the floor. One was near the portal, the other was just away from it. The one that was in the location we identified (by different members of the IGT team) flashed every minute or two (as the portal rotated to a certain point). 

WHY AND WHERE DOES THE DOOR GO? -
One of the ghosts of the home uses this portal to go back and forth to the other portal on the property. During a thorough IGT investigation, it was determined that the other portal lies in the middle of the cemetery in the backyard. So, it's our guess that one of the ghosts goes back and forth to the cemetery to visit one of his loved ones who passed before him.

What's amazing this time is that we were actually able to prove the location of the portal with the equipment, and not just sensations from a good number of people.

That concludes the findings from one group at the Belmont during the recent public investigation. If you want to participate in one of the IGT investigations of the Mansion, Call 410-313-0200 or register online:

An Important note about spirit messages/readings

I always welcome emails from anyone who has lost a pet or person and will try to connect. However, once I give

you a "reading" or message please keep in mind that there are always more emails from people waiting for some kind of sign, too. I've corresponded with many people around the world who are devastated after the loss of loved ones. I'm trying to be fair to everyone who is also grieving deeply over the loss of their loved one.

IF YOU EMAIL About a pet who passed - Please tell me what kind of pet you're asking about: Dog, cat, horse; the gender: boy or girl; and even the breed. Why? Because there are so many spirits wanting to give messages, it's hard to know who is taking unless I have some basic information about them. I have received emails asking about "my girl" or my boy"- and nothing else. Some people have had multiple pets, too - and pets growing up. All of them have the ability to say something, so I need a little bit of info to ensure I'm getting a message from the right one.

For Example:   If I get a message from a dog that says, I loved playing with cardboard toilet paper rolls, and your recent dog who passed didn't even bother with them - think about dogs you may have had in the past who may have played with them.

Please consider other grieving folks  - Since I don't make a living from these (I don't charge), and it takes a lot of concentration and time away from my family, I would respectfully ask that once you get a message to try and refrain from asking more questions over several more emails.  Getting messages is not like having a phone conversation with a spirit - it takes a lot of energy for them to connect and for me to pick up on it.

Think about it this way:   It's like getting a piece of free chocolate from a store with samples and then going back 10 times later in the day to get more chocolate.

Case in Point: 
Although it's "free" to everyone, it isn't to me, because it takes time, and I want to help as many people as I can. Years ago, a woman emailed me and was devastated about the loss of her mother.  I was able to get three unique messages from her mom that provided the woman comfort. Two days later she emailed me again saying that she wanted to talk with her mother and find out if she should go to an event. Then days later, she emailed me again, asking who she's with on the other side. A week later she emailed again and asked if her mom's spirit would help guide her (living) brother.  I finally had to email her and tell her that getting messages from spirit isn't like talking on the phone and requires a lot of time and concentration.

So, I'm requesting that if you get messages from me, and you may not be able to understand immediately think about them - often times they will become clear later. If you get confirmations, feel free to let me know it makes sense. The bottom line is that your people or pets are always going to be connected to you.
- Rob

Part 2: Belmont Manor: Ghostly Happenings: White Haired Lady

A female ghost: Woman in White

This is part 2 of the recent investigation of the Belmont Mansion. In this blog you'll read about the mysterious female ghost who has continually avoided investigators until this time!

The Inspired Ghost Tracking group of Glen Burnie, Maryland leads public ghost investigations at the historic Belmont Mansion (in Elkridge, MD) several times throughout the year through the Howard County Parks Department. The tours are $20 and the funds all go to support the mansion. The registration is through the parks department. On the most recent investigation, Friday, July 16, there were several experiences where we talked with intelligent haunts (ghosts who answer questions).
  

The ball lit up with an affirmation

LIGHTING UP TO ANSWER - One of the things we use to get "Yes" or "No" answers is a ball that lights up when moved or affected by electrical activity. It's actually a cat toy, but it's easy enough for ghosts to affect it (since they're energy)

THE WOMAN IN WHITE FINALLY SPEAKS - Several people have reported seeing a ghostly white haired woman in a white dress. This woman has continually avoided the Inspired Ghost Tracking team during investigations. Not this time!
  In one of the rooms that is usually devoid of activity, we were surprised to hear from her.
  We placed the light up plastic cat toy balls on the bed. I was talking about the woman that people have seen, but the IGT team has not. I said "I don't think she likes people" and suddenly the 2 balls lit up and kept flashing!  That was a confirmation from her that she in fact, did not like people!
- So, I next asked if she wanted us to leave so she could be alone and they flashed again!
No one was anywhere near the bed and there was no movement- so we can say that we now know why we've never seen or heard from the ghostly woman - She wants to be left alone and doesn't like people!

Part 1: Belmont Mansion Ghostly Happenings: Amanda the Ghost

Ronda of IGT asking questions to the ghost in "Amanda's bedroom"

The Inspired Ghost Tracking group of Glen Burnie, Maryland leads public ghost investigations at the historic Belmont Mansion (in Elkridge, MD) several times throughout the year through the Howard County Parks Department. The tours are $20 and the funds all go to support the mansion. The registration is through the parks department.

On the most recent investigation, Friday, July 16, there were several experiences where we talked with intelligent haunts (ghosts who answer questions).

There were 21 people who signed up for the investigation. So, the Inspired Ghost Tracking teams split into two groups. One for the first floor and basement, and the other for the second floor. I covered the second floor with Ronda, Amy and Jimmy.

A GHOST NAMED AMANDA - On previous investigations we learned that there is a 6 year old girl named Amanda who died of the flu and still plays in the house. People have seen her. I got all the info about her name, age, and death on a previous investigation - as I channeled her while Ronda asked me questions (we work so well together).
  

The ball lit up with an affirmation

LIGHTING UP TO ANSWER - One of the things we use to get "Yes" or "No" answers is a ball that lights up when moved or affected by electrical activity. It's actually a cat toy, but it's easy enough for ghosts to affect it (since they're energy). Well, Ronda asked questions and Amanda answered confirming her presence. A visitor in the group asked Amanda if she knew what was pictured on her shirt (they were butterflies), and the ball lit up. Another question was asked and the ball didn't light. Then a woman asked if Amanda knew what was on her shirt (cats) and the ball lit up.  Other questions were asked and received no response.

TV TIME - At the end of the questions we were about to leave when suddenly Amanda turned on the television in the room. We were all startled as the remote was in a drawer and no one was near the television. Again, ghosts can do that because they're electrical energy. Maybe Amanda was acknowledging she was done with her visitors and wanted to watch television.
